Doorknob Hole Repair

The most common hole in any house. We patch it so it’s invisible, and we can tell you how to stop it happening again.

Doorknob Hole Repair by The Patch Guyz

A door swung open too hard is all it takes for a knob to punch a round hole through drywall. It’s a small repair, but getting it truly invisible takes the right backing, thin coats and a careful texture match, which is exactly what we do.

We square up the hole, install solid backing so the patch can take another bump, then tape, mud, sand and texture it to match the wall around it. While we’re there we can install a door stop so the wall stays fixed.

The Patch Guyz are drywall repair specialists. We patch and restore existing walls and ceilings. We don’t do new-construction drywall or whole-room remodels.

    We patch it

    We protect the floor, cut back damaged material, set backing where needed, then tape, mud and sand in thin coats.

  4. 4

    Texture matched, paint-ready

    We blend the surface or match your existing texture and leave a clean, primed, paint-ready patch. Touch-up paint of the repaired area is available.

Stick-on patches and spackle tend to crack and outline. A backed, taped and textured repair stays put and disappears under paint.
